10 août 1792, massacre des Gardes Suisses lors de la prise des Tuileries, voulue par la loge des neufs sœurs. « Un tambour de 9 ans, qui sanglote accroché au cadavre de son père, est cloué à coups de baïonnettes sur celui-ci. Les médecins sont massacrés tandis qu'ils donnent leurs soins aux blessés. Les scènes de cannibalisme et de sadisme se multiplient. »

Under Biden and Obama, SpaceX got no reprieve. They had to do absurd nonsense all the time in order to do anything.

Under Obama, the FAA made SpaceX write a book report on local activity in the Mexican-American War.

The “starter home” has been regulated out of existence in Massachusetts.

This 1,600sf, 3-bed, 1.5-bath home in Wakefield just sold for $1 million, $125K over asking, receiving 15 offers after just 6 days on the market.

This is what housing scarcity looks like.

When Théoden despairs that Helm's Deep has fallen and Aragon says that Théoden said the fortress would never fall while his men defend it the distinction in character between Théoden as a Germanic seeking an death and Aragon as a Christian who believes in victory is shown.

One of the most obtuse & annoying American political debates is the question of if America is a Christian country

Liberals will passionately argue we’re not because we don’t have a state religion & from that strict POV they are correct, but it misses the point entirely

What makes a country Christian isn’t if the government has an official religion, it’s demographics & culture

Most Americans are religiously Christian & our culture obviously prioritizes Christian holidays, Christian customs, Christian literature, Christian names, etc

What’s scary is even these basic truths American liberals will try & downplay or outright deny as they wallow in a cultural ignorance to the non-Christian world

But to anyone from a non-Christian background it’s extremely obvious we are a Christian country, it’s much of the reason the Muslim world wants to destroy us

Fun fact: the top of the Bankers Trust building in NYC (1910-1912 AD) is an imitation of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (353 and 351 BC)

Early twentieth century architects were SUCH NERDS

Reading Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and this sounds familiar: “The nation of soldiers, magistrates, and legislators, who composed the tribes of the Roman people, was dissolved into the common mass of mankind who received the name, without adopting the spirit, of Romans.”

The Baltic Sea has the lowest salinity level of any seawater in the world, with profound profound effects on its ecology. Some of it is so lacking in salt it's almost drinkable.

Here is how a sea connected to the Atlantic became almost fresh.
